Traducto – App for Language Translation

Although I am quite bias and feel there is no replacement for the human language translator, I can still get impressed to learn about new language translation apps like Visual Frames’ Traducto. This app has a translation service for sixteen top languages. It allows the user to translate content and localize their applications. It’s supposed to be a nice interface with easy navigation and a simple way to access the translation service and checkout. This is a beta release. This is a free app now for developers during this beta period.

This will be one of many more translation service apps and even interpreting service apps to come. With so many dependent on their phones when traveling, having a proper interpreting service app or translation service app will be as readily found on phones as the Facebook app or Angry Birds.

Joining the Interpretation Ranks

Sign Language interpreters are busy. Vietnamese interpreters are busy. Nepali interpreters are busy. The list goes on and on and on for over 130 languages. If you are considering a career with a language translation service or interpreting services just do it. As a whole we have seen our interpreters become so busy that they sometimes need a two- to three-week notice for booking an appointment.

Flexibility in their schedules, competitive compensation, and enjoyable work is the feedback we receive from our interpreters. Like a lot of language translation companies, IU is also see a greater need for interpreter services nationwide. Although there are certain areas of the nation that have a more concentrated immigrant population, and therefore, require relatively more interpreting services, overall, our requests for translation services as well as interpreting services has grown at a rapid pace.

IU is always looking for professional, reliable, and qualified interpreters and translators. If you are interested in learning more, go to our For Interpreters page and contact IU today.
